Roto Comment -
The deal includes $28 million guaranteed, which is $6 million more than Dashon Goldson got last offseason. Byrd got his wish, after all. Just like that, the Saints have one of the league's best safety duos, with Byrd joining ascendant second-year pro Kenny Vaccaro. One of the league's elite center fielders, Byrd is going to have ample opportunity to make plays behind DC Rob Ryan's blitzing, aggressive 3-4 front. He has 22 career picks and 11 forced fumbles across 73 games. Byrd's foot issues from 2013 are a minor concern, but he appeared in all 16 games from 2010-12. He is still only 27.

2013 (Apparently he played with foot issues... only played in 11 games which were in the last part of the season) good lord when he is healthy
PFF Break Down

Ranked 8th Overall of all S in the NFL - by comparison Vaccaro was 27th, Bush was 25th

The signing of Byrd proves that The Saints are considered an elite team. We were able to get a valuable piece that was needed on the first day. And its apparent that he viewed us as his landind spot as well.

I think they are just waiting/hoping for a fish to bite onto the Sproles bait

Sproles departing on any terms will = 750k in dead money regardless.

Before Byrds contract we had 2m in cap space, even if Sproles is cut, that is 3.4m in cap space totaling 5.4m, by my contract distribution, and I would in no way trust mine LOL, but we would still be 500k under.

Then there is the rumored PT release +3m in cap pspace
3.5m in room
Restructuring Grubs/Evans 8mish
11.5m in cap space
